American culture does not valued education, especially the higher intellectual pursuits such as engineering, science, or math. This is where the battle must begin. Entertainment portrays the "nerd" as weak, ugly, bullied, and unable to "get the girl/boy." Big Bang Theory is the most recent example. You need to stop the misperceptions at the source-American culture.

I don't know about German internships, but at AECOM here in the USA, we take in a good many interns. For most of the year, here in the Boston office anyway, we select interns from local university co-op programs, but during the summer, there has been deviations from this and we have taken in summer interns applying independently. I know I don't necessarily speak for all types of engineering or even all AECOM, but I hope this helps.
